We have been having a fabulous time learning alhmadulilah!

IsA on Monday, 30/05/2016 we will be going to Stone Swamp where we will sketch different pictures of nature and reflect on and connect to our chapter book with Danny and his dad's adventures in the woods and in the filling station!
Sr. Madlein joined us and read a great book called "King for a Day". Then we completed a comprehension worksheet about the book.
Students maintained stamina while reading to self.
We also read different biographies in groups and discussed the people's achievements.
Writing: Students are almost all done their autobiographies! Each student made his/her own autobiography after completing the prewriting and the first draft. They wrote an introduction about themselves, what they have a passion for, some special moments, and who their role models are and how they inspired them. Then, they added their pictures and designed their cover. MsA they did a great job!
After completing "Danny, the Champion of the world", We discussed the characters, setting, our favourite parts and why we thought Danny was a champion. Then students worked independently to show their work in their writing journals.
Grammar: We learned that pronouns take the place of a noun, and students completed worksheets on pronouns.
Math: We completed our unit on multiplication and division. We reviewed how to solve word problems, and we have our multiplication contest every Friday.
Encourage your child to memorize the 2, 4 and 6 tables for Friday!
